Ovals and Diamonds

The basic color scheme is cream and purple.
Two embossing folders were used in this design.
The cream paper that is embossed is a
Sizzix Christmas folder. It is supposed to be holly.
Yes, that's right, holly, and I could never find it.
But it does have great flourishes and berries.
At least I guess they are berries. Who knows?
The purple card stock under the K and Company
sticker is also embossed.

The frame is a Spellbinders Lacy Oval with
a nesting Diamond on the inside.
It has been raised off the card face
using two layers of paper egg carton glued together
and cut into sizes that fit the back side of the frame.
The three butterflies on the frame were
punched with an EK Success Martha Stewart
punch. The gold metallic is a candy wrapper
attached to card stock.

Can you tell I am into "recycling"?
Actually it is not recycling, it is being frugal.

Arch Frames

After creating the base layers using purple card stock
and an embossing folder the arched frame was
placed in the center.
Purple was used as the contrasting
base layer under the arched frame.
It has been textured with an embossing folder as well.
Two sizes of the Sizzix nesting arch dies
were used to create the frame.
The K & Company sticker was
placed in the center of the frame.
Highlighting foil attached to card stock
was used for the butterflies
which were punched using and EK Success punch.
